Just the smell coming from that mouse, should persuate anyone to give up of anything. Great intimist moment captured here. I wonder what the hell was the he trying to achieve so close, but the camel didn't like it for sure. In the camel fair, I noticed that they complain pretty much about anything.
Another funny one from this place :)))
You have an humorous series now...

Swietne.
Rzadko widuje sie muzulmana w tradycyjnym stroju z papierochem w ustach, a tutaj jeszcze dzieli sie fajka z wielbladem...doskonale...z tym ze ja mysle, ze wielblad robi ten grymas wzdrygajac sie na ten smrodek, tak jak dasz psu do powachania alkohol, to marszczy okrutnie nos...: D.
Ale wyszlo tak jakby zwierzak wdychal narkotyczny dym...a moze facet pali Camela ??? ;))

Widzê, ¿e ¿e powaga tego miejsca nie przys³oni³a Tobie zdolno¶ci postrzegania scenek bardziej swobodnych i humorystycznnych. Widzieæ to jedno, a ustrzeliæ w najbardziej odpowiednim momencie to drugie. Tutaj wszystko posz³o g³adko: scenka fantastyczna, jako¶æ wspania³a a kolory bajeczne.
Pozdrawiam,
Jurek

Great stuff to start-up the morning with!

Two layer action again (Your specialty!).
That bokehish group of people back there...?
It looks like they take part in you having fun out there with the camel.

PS: Presented with care.
It wasn't that difficult...Was it ?

Funny shot of this stand off, Jerzy. The boy doesn't look too impressed by the camel's attentions. Camels must have the biggest personalities of any animal, and you captured the spirit of this creature superbly.
My only criticism is that the background is a bit distracting, I'd have preferred a shallower depth of field.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Jerzy, this one is so cool. The camel expression is priceless. As well as the boy, of course. Rich in details and sharpness.
Well done

There's something about the colors that I don't like here... a reddish taint, possibly a real characteristic of that place, but even so I think it hurts the photo a bit.

Other than that, it's really a great moment and I enjoy the joke on 'smoking Camels' :-)

Dear Jerzy... I think I will sue you for making me laugh so much tonight with your photo (and with the help of Ricardo!!!) that my stomach is aching right now. :)))))
It is the second funny photo with a camel that I critique this week. The first one was by André. Ah! The teeth, the mouth (mouse? :))) of these camels! What a photogenic beast! But here, your timing is extraordinary! And your title!!!
To make me smile with a photo is already very good. To make me laugh is more difficult. To make me laugh out loud is so good that, well... I will not sue you! :)))
Thanks dear!
Claire

Funny capture here Jerzy,

its not an artistic masterpiece as many of your shots are but its a simple, funny capture of what is (not for us) daily life..with a twist:) As good photography goes, the moment is absolutely necessary

Zabójcze - śmiech zwala z nóg :)))). Piękny podwójny portret - i wspaniala relacja między obydwoma stronami dialogu :)). Dwie bardzo charakterne persony i super kompozycja. A podziw wzbudza wkomponowanie "pomiedzy" grupy turystów pokazujacych sobie "naszą" scenę. Dołączam się do grona chwalców i radośnie pozdrawiam T.

Hi Jerzy! Want a piece of advice? Send Paint Shop Pro to the Recycle Bin... :) I don't know if you are still testing it or not but that strange pink cast in the background has almost ruined your picture. Almost, I repeat, because the foreground action is somewhat better in terms of color. Strange... The moment is very well caught and the way you decided to show some bokeh action in the middle of them is great. Edited in PS and it will be a winner :)

I think this was the historic moment in which an entire camel population picked the habit ;-) Just look at his yearning eyes, that imploring body language! Looks like me when I go into a camera store, haha!
Marvellous, Jerzy!

That's such a strange and amusing image Mr B - it's strange the 'empty' third still works well with the rest even though the action is all centre and left - very nicely and unescapably seen J!

Hello Jerzy,
Well caught, and absolutely humourus one. Color and light are well controlled for this quick shot, what I don't see is the focal length but I imagine it must be a very long one. I wish you an excellent week and I may be away for 3 days after tomorrow.

Witam
wlasnie wrocilam z Petry wspomnienia wciaz zywe, obrazy podobne mam przed oczami, Petra mnie zachwycila calkowicie, i ta atmosfera wykutego w skale miasta pobudzajaca wyobraznie, i ci beduini wszedobylscy z ich manierami, swoboda, poczuciem humoru, w zdjeciu Twoim podoba mi sie zwlaszcza glebia ostrosci, nasycone kolory oraz uchwycone sojrzenie miedzy beduinem a wielbladem i ta lekka zuchwalosc na twarzy
suuuuper
pozdrowienia
